This morning, around 9.30, a security agency stormed Squat Milada in Prague, started to break the windows and all the inner equipment. Police arrived later to "ensure the peace." Two persons were injured. Seven squatters barricaded themselves up on the roof and the agency slowly got them down. There is only one person remaining on the roof. At around 18.00 the minister for human rights arrived and negotiations have started. There might be an option, that squatters will get a different building instead.

The so called private security firm hired by the (legally debatable) owner of the land were all wearing a brand called Thor Steiner, favourite fashion mark of our local neo-nazi gangs. It has since come out that one employee of this security firm is currently charged with racially motivated murder. (fotos of the neo-nazis in both their "work gear" and attending their favourite weekend activities here:  http://www.antifa.cz/254-mzdomova-vyklizeni-squatu-milada.html)

300+ Czech police protected this band of thugs while they totally trashed a space which has been squatted for more than 10 years. The building during this time has been worked on a lot and became an iconic cultural centre in Central Europe, hosting many visitors to Prague, many alternative music concerts, exhibitions and so on.

Here is an example of the former roof, maintained by the squatters for many years:

here is what the skin head thugs did to the roof:

Allegedly a minister is going to get the squatters another building. General feeling here is that we don't want their buildings and we will reclaim what we like.

This eviction was totally unjustified, legally debatable and morally wrong. But obviously as always the mainstream media are lapping it up. Please spread the word, this is another example of corruption winning over freedom and we will not stand for this any more. For more independent info check:
